When God says...
“The glory of young men is their strength, And the splendor of old men is their gray head.” (Proverbs 20:29 NKJV)
He highlights two major milestones of our life in this physical realm. This is to help us realize how best to live this temporal body as fruitful and blessed as it should be, for the benefit of our spiritual body. It is a system of investing the natural for the supernatural. At the peak of our youth, while strength abounds, we should live to the utmost in the ways of God's righteousness according to His plan for eternal gain. That is to abide in His Word by faith in Jesus. In so doing, when we reach the pinnacle of our journey, we can step into the splendor of old age. And, with head graying in wisdom, we will reap the realities of King Solomon's declaration: "Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness.” (Proverbs 16:31 NIV)
And, we can rest in the peace of God through grace by faith in Christ Jesus, while we eagerly wait our Lord's return, as it is written: "Then when Christ, the Chief Shepherd, comes, you will get a glorious crown that will never lose its beauty.” (1 Peter 5:4 NCV)
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” (Matthew 25:34 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
